As relatively poor immigrants from Finland, my parents liked to spend weekends augmenting our food supply. In the days of mid-summer, it was hours of picking blueberries – the entire family participated. With no obstruction of sunlight from trees or large shrubs, the best locations for picking seemed to be regions of wildfire burn. There were times we would come upon areas absolutely carpeted in blue – an 8-quart basket could be picked with very little movement from a single squatting position.
